Needs a spit guard.

This is from the prosecutors opening statement in the judge Dugan trial, but under cross, the investigating agent just admitted they have no idea what “business as usual” looks like in the Milwaukee courthouse. Not going well for the government here.

Do you ever wonder what would have happened if our elected leaders would have stopped Elon & DOGE’s B&E? Was that the first test of what we would allow during this term? Or was it the lack of press over the unenforceable EO’s in early days? Or March, sending people to CECOT?

Random thoughts - Also, this week, I learned it is impossible to cancel the following subscriptions so plan to spend a whole day on it. Spotify - boycott Microsoft Office - no one ever likely cancels it bc we need it. I may even still have it. Perplexity - I really wanted it to work!

Yesterday I found a large notebook of writing from Jan. I’m not even a writer, and it feels like a lifetime ago. What hit hardest was the energy into sounding the alarm about 🍊💩 & his army of enablers. Turned out people’s apathy made them enablers too. What a very long year it has been.

Happy Caturday. …and suddenly I am acutely aware of her bunny ears. This one is known as “lil bit” aka sterling. 🫶🏼

Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans have one last opportunity to vote to save the ACA tax credits. If they refuse, they are CHOOSING to let premiums more than double, and they would force millions of Americans to go uninsured.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

A member of parliament from the right-wing Alternative for Germany party (AfD) was sure his presentation to the State Department would be canceled after news broke of a Nazi-linked serenade. Then he got a phone call from a senior State Dept. staffer... www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

The new National Security Strategy drops 80 years of US foreign policy. It retreats from NATO and the postwar order, echoes Russian points, pushes white nationalist themes, and claims US dominance over the Americas. Experts are calling it a historic break& a direct hit to the transatlantic alliance.

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

Kristy Noem is going to be in Chicago at the tree dedication today. She is here solely to antagonize and stoke the flames. “Reminding us” they are everywhere. No, Kristy, go back to the hell trailer you came from. We are just fine here in Chicago. Have your own ceremony.

Typical CEO In Chumplandia......

The weaseliest weasel there ever was.

I don’t know who did this, but I love it.

Lake Manly is back after record rain in Death Valley trib.al/eEtyLpR

The fight for 2026 starts right here. Senator Mark Warner has been a wall between Trump and unchecked power, fighting for health care, workers, national security & the rule of law. This is not a race to overlook. This is the balance of power. Let’s go, Virginia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV71...

Damn. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTraaM4uW/

My favorite!

Same, Clay. Same. Since the day I heard Billy Bush’s name for the first time.

Time for us all to wake up and fucking fight back!!

Unpopular take: we’ve known for fifty years this was their strategy to achieve minority rule and did very little about it. Being outraged is a good start I guess, but it doesn’t replace strategy.

I am shopping at Costco more frequently. Good companies deserve our business!

Exactly. They’re so out of touch, they have NO idea what the country really thinks of this 🍊💩 and they never listened in the first place. Plus some of them are like 800 years old. Times have changed….and women, yeah, we still don’t forget a damn thing.

I woke up with a Cranberries’ song in my head. Brain radio is doing strange things lately.

It’s nice to see someone fighting for the people! AG James does not stop for nothin’! 🔥

"It is now on us to fight heartbreak with hope, to fight cowardice by electing people with strong backbones at all levels of government, and moving them out of the way when they refuse." - Sen. Yasmin Trudeau Video Credit: Dan Villa #NoKings #NoKingsTacoma #TacomaWA

Icymi: A week before Thanksgiving, the Trump administration deleted the Federal Report on Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women The ‘Not One More’ report recorded indigenous deaths and disappearances, and provided resources and policy suggestions to address the crisis www.jezebel.com/trump-admin-...

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected. Small businesses were the hardest hit.

“BUILT DIFFERENT.”

And @kristenwelker.bsky.social let her just lie and did nothing… The news channels are lost, the journalists are biased and bad at their job…

Typ exchange with Trump admin idiots: Q.: Did you run the red light? A: No. Q: We have witnesses. A. The witnesses are all liars, socialists, & liberals. Q: We have video. A: It's all deep faked. Q: In an earlier post, you bragged about running the red light. A.: It shouldn't be a crime.

Every. Single. Day.
